The term often used for non-germ line is Somatic. Human mutations arise in two major settings: the germline and soma. Germline mutations occur in sperm, eggs, and their progenitor cells and are therefore heritable. Somatic mutations occur in other cell types and cannot be inherited by offspring. Somatic and germline mutations matter in health and disease. https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-020-3508-8 https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186...
